Book excerpt: Richie doesn't think he's ever been as happy as he is right now. He and Max are about to have a baby and move into their new home on the shores of Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu. His garden design business is booming and everything he ever dreamed of is within his reach. Richie's sister Jess is also feeling on top of the world. She's about to be an aunt for the first time, is running a campaign to be nominated as godmother, and her Queenstown café, Beach Road, is going from success to success. To put a cherry on top of her already beautifully iced cake, her boyfriend Nathan is showing no signs at all of going back to his job in Australia and for the first time in her life she's in a relationship with someone who doesn't seem to be just in it for the season. As for Millie, she's overjoyed at the thought of being a grandmother and can't wait for the baby to arrive. With Richie and Max back in Queenstown to stay, and even Jess looking like she could be settling down at last with a man who is perfect for her, she and her husband Cam can finally begin to ease into retirement and maybe even take a trip or two. But then a stranger arrives in town - and he brings with him secrets that Millie had thought were buried forever, secrets that threaten not only her happiness but that of Richie and Jess too.

Download or read book Into the Unknown written by Anne Cockburn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are seldom neutral in their thoughts on retirement. Some relish the idea and visualise it as a long and carefree holiday. Others view it with anxiety and dread wondering about their financial futures and whether they will be bored as they, 'sit in God's waiting room'. Many are somewhere between these extremes and, quite naturally, are likely to have mixed feelings as the time to retirement comes upon them. 'Into the Unknown; early reflections on retirement' has been written by four retired professional women together with some guest writers. It covers a wide range of areas detailing many of the joys, challenges and newfound freedoms of the recently retired. Its intention is to provide as open and honest accounts as possible of the authors' own experiences and feelings enabling readers to explore their own thinking at this dramatic time in their lives. Such a springboard is designed to help others appreciate that they are not alone and that, despite some of the challenges they might face, retirement can be highly rewarding and fulfilling. The book is divided into three sections. The first are the authors' thoughts on retirement with each of them exploring issues raised by the lead author (Anne Cockburn). Key to these chapters is the way in which the writers discuss the transitions from working life into retirement. Thus, for example, 'Leaving the driving seat' examines some of the emotions and adjustments made from being a leader in the workplace to the adoption of more modest roles in a new daily environment. 'Routines' raises questions surrounding the need for some to have a specific structure to their day while 'Holidays' is a reminder that even the retired can benefit from a change of scene from time to time. The second section of the book features chapters from four guest writers. Chapters 18 and 19 present the thoughts of two people in the very early stages of their retirement and the challenges they face as they mentally endeavour to extricate themselves from many years of paid and highly intensive work. Chapter 20 details the case of Miranda whose retirement took an unexpected turn due to the unanticipated ill health of her husband. Richard Davies is the only male contributor. In his chapter - 'A theory of retirement in six-and-a half M's' - he explains his observations that life is much enhanced if, among other things, one has mates, money (not vast amounts but enough) and moral merriment. His theory was devised without his having read any other of the chapters in the book but clearly resonates with many of the contributions included. The final section is a summary of our thoughts having concluded the book and moved on to the next stage of retirement.

Download or read book My Last Stop written by Margery Fridstein and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We never used the phrase 'last stop' or explicitly announced to our children that this was where we were going to die. Yet I think we all knew that was the plan." Margery Fridstein and her husband, Bob, were active seniors, working and skiing into their eighties. They were close to their adult children, scattered across the country, but valued their independence. So when health issues drew them away from their beloved home in the Colorado mountains, they looked for a place that would support their lifestyle now and eventually care for them if their health failed. Like tens of thousands of other Americans, they chose a Continuing Care Retirement Community. Fridstein, a psychotherapist with a lifetime of experience evaluating people and relationships, shares her resulting ups and downs in this intimate, clear, funny, and informative memoir. She's ready to answer the questions about retirement community living that matter to seniors but are rarely addressed by outsiders. What are the people like? What is the food like? What are the rules? What will I do all day? What if I get sick? Is it really possible--or even a good idea--to live with so many old people? And in her own matter-of-fact way, she also tackles tough questions about handling the loss of health and loved ones, and eventually end-of-life decisions. Charming and conversational, Margery's insights will be a valuable resource for seniors, and their families, who are considering their own decisions about aging well.

Download or read book Reflections on Retirement in Year One written by Sander Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was December 1854, French chemist Louis Pasteur, dean of the faculty of sciences at the University of Lille, stated a famous quote, "Chance favors the prepared mind." What does that really mean? Simply put, the better prepared you are, the more likely you can take advantage of new opportunities. Pasteur was a genius who developed vaccines for anthrax and rabies and created the process of pasteurization. Although the future of medicine is not our destiny, the concept of being prepared for retirement is! Why not be ready for this first year of profound transition? For some retirees, the freedom from the old days of relentless toil at work is viewed as a permanent vacation. It's a blessing to feel that way. However, for most of us, there are significant feelings of consternation when leaving behind years of achievement at work. It's okay to feel that way too! This is normal and requires a new perspective. Truly, it takes time and patience to adjust, along with kindness about who we are now, as retirees. This short book, or perhaps a survival guide, is meant to calm fears about the unknown journey of retirement and lifestyle changes. As stated in the title, there is a truth that "happiness favors a prepared mind." It is important to be ready for retirement and should be comforting to know that most of us have the same emotions! The purpose of this book is to share feelings that might be a challenge in your life right now. The author provides a unique story, along with personal experiences and examples, to better understand and kindly accept retirement in year one. It is a conversation that is needed and, hopefully, will be valuable for you!
